The Role of Tropics in Climate Change: Global Case Studies uses a 20-chapter, easy-to-understand format to centralize the practical application ideas for functional metagenomics. This important resource not only includes chapters on next-generation sequencing technologies to study important biogeochemical cycles, degradation pathways and detoxification, but also gives insight into several tools that have been developed to integrate metadata and sequence data, allowing downstream comparative analyses of different datasets using several ecological indices. The book further explains newly developed techniques for sequencing DNA, generating shorter fragments than Sanger sequencing techniques to quickly read larger sequences in a shorter amount of time. - Provides a wealth of information to readers on state-of-the-art applications of metagenomics - Summarizes our current knowledge of the use of metagenomics and gives a novel and powerful insight into the already existing bioremediation process - Gives an overall picture of metagenomics and its application, processes, and future prospects in the field of bioremediation
